Deck discussion for Eldrazi Trap

I prefer Ulamog over both Kozilek and It That Betrays. You aren't getting the cast effect when you use a trap, and Ulamog has protection from a few common removal cards (primarily Day). Also, I recommend testing it with 2 Garruk and 2 Omnath, Locus of Mana. I run a similar deck, and Omnath is fantastic, he gives you the option to hard cast your Eldrazi. I started with a 2/2 split, and I've found that Omnath is almost always more useful. Also, you might consider swapping the Llanowar for Explore to dig to your trap faster.

Omnath can work, but I often find that he is a lightning rod, or a path magnet if you don't have any way to protect him. I have a deck similar to this, though I focus dualy on the ability to both hard cast and summoner's trap into them. I run 4's of Llanowar, Arbor elf, and Treespeakers, in addition to 4 explore's and visionaries. As far as creatures I run with, I run with 1 of each of the legendary 3, 3 It That Betrays, and 2 Khalni Hydras. I often find myself with trap mana no later than turn 4, which I promptly do on my opponents end step if their not running blue with negate mana up. Long story short, I like It That Betrays, because one swing with it for me, and it makes it that much easier for me to hard cast the rest of my Eldrazi, including the ability to trap more often. The combo of elves, temples, eye of ugin, and traps, with vine's of vastwood to protect all but Amrakul, has proven particularly resilient and frustrating for my friends.
